I’ve been seeing a disturbing tendency among atheists to compare religious belief to mental illness. Sometimes this comparison is made explicit, as in this article. Other times, however, the comparison is more implicit–for instance, when words like “crazy” and “delusional” are used to describe religious people or their beliefs (hi Dawkins).

These comparisons are inaccurate and offensive to both religious people and people with mental illnesses.

First of all, being religious is a choice. Being mentally ill is not. While it’s a bit arguable whether or not faith itself is a choice–I certainly can’t make myself believe in god, but perhaps others can–the existence and success of religious proselytism proves that choice is at least part of the equation. Only a completely ignorant person, on the other hand, would attempt to proselytize mental health (although it obviously does happen).

UBUNTU LANDSCAPE is one of the reasons to choose Ubuntu. This gives benefits like we know from Redhat Enterprise Server, But Ubuntu also reaches out to managing Desktop Computers.

A complete API lets you use established technologies (e.g. Bash, Python) to borrow or build on Landscape’s functionality.

By having data about corruption available online we end impunity. We are busy in Kenya to start a project that will help bring change to impunity, and possibly change the political landscape. This project will be implemented with Movable Type www.movabletype.orgThe system will give ultimate flexibility, and followers of the blog can comment and contribute to all the news. We shed light on malpractices of corruption by making it available on the Internet… We will team up with NGO’s and Embassies, and give a platform to vent opinions on the way forward in Kenya. To be continued…

Fighting corruption in Kenya through Content

In Movable Type 5.2, with the added cloud computing environment support in place, we have more flexibility in system development. We can realize the full benefits of the proper management of cost and resources, and create a more stable computing environment.

In addition, the rich text editor used for web pages and blogs has been completely revamped. Having an editor that is much easier to use with more functions makes updating and revising blogs and web sites much easier and faster.

This is a first post… I will be posting more about SEO, Linux Computing, Photography and IT development in Africa.
